Conversion of a Coaxial Rotorcraft to a UAV—Lessons Learned
A coaxial helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 600 kg was converted to an unmanned aerial vehicle. A minimally invasive robotic actuator system was developed, which can be retrofitted onto the copilot seat of the rotorcraft in a short period of ...

The Role of Orogenic Collapse on Tectonic Inheritance of Passive Continental Margins
Abstract The break‐up and drift of continents is governed by the reactivation of structures in the lithosphere that occur in preference to formation of new structures during rifting. Numerical analyses indicate that mantle heterogeneities should be a first‐order control on tectonic inheritance; however, the importance of mantle relative to crustal ...

Simulation of Unsteady Aerdynamic Load for Rigid Coaxial Rotor in Forward Flight with Vortex Particle Method [PDF]
Co-axial rotor systems are frequently used for high-speed helicopters. Nevertheless, issues related to rotor-head drag, aerodynamic performance and vibration should also be considered. Simulating the unsteady aerodynamic loads for a rigid coaxial rotor,

Conceptualization of a Small, Uncrewed, Microwave‐Powered Aircraft
This work conceptualizes wireless power transfer (WPT) between a tracking stationary ground transmitter and a mobile aircraft. Initial ground tests are performed to determine the viability of the Friis equation, using rectennas developed for operation at 2.45 GHz at 4 dBm of optimal input power.

Ventilator‐assisted preoxygenation in an aeromedical retrieval setting
Ventilator‐assisted preoxygenation (VAPOX) is a method of preoxygenation and apnoeic ventilation, prior to intubation. This article describes the use of VAPOX during intubation of critically unwell patients in aeromedical retrieval setting. Abstract Objective Ventilator‐assisted preoxygenation (VAPOX) is a method of preoxygenation and apnoeic ...
